I have a student writing a paper on Abel's proof of the insolvability of
fifth and higher degree polynomial equations by radicals. Abel's two
papers on this are in French. While that's no problem for me, it is for
my student! Does anyone know if these have been translated into English
by anyone? I don't have the time to make translations for my student.

Thanks,
David Pengelley
